October 22, 1979 — Chicago, IL My fellow boot camp sailors Mike Dunning and Mike Seidler and I traveled from the Great Lakes Naval Recruit Training Center to Chicago to listen to the Eagles.

I don’t recall a lot of details of the venue, but the Internet sure does!. Here’s the setlist [Update: see below], the locale, details of Chicago Stadium, now demolished, and more links.
